Operationalizing niche construction theory with stone tools
, 2021 One of the greatest difficulties with evolutionary approaches in the study of stone tools (lithics) has been finding a mechanism for tying culture and biology in a way that preserves human agency and operates at scales that are visible in the ...

Analysing the distance decay of community similarity in river networks using Bayesian methods
Scientific Reports, 2021 The distance decay of community similarity (DDCS) is a pattern that is widely observed in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Niche-based theories argue that species are sorted in space according to their ability to adapt to new environmental ...

Limiting similarity and niche theory for structured populations [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2009 We develop the theory of limiting similarity and niche for structured populations with finite number of individual states (i-state). In line with a previously published theory for unstructured populations, the niche of a species is specified by the impact and sensitivity niche vectors.

Why Gupta et al.’s critique of niche construction theory is off target
, 2017 Gupta et al., in their article in this issue (‘Niche construction in evolutionary theory: the construction of an academic niche?’. doi: 10.1007/s12041-017-0787-6), lament ‘serious problems with the way science is being done’ and suggest that ‘niche ...

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]
, 2015 Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...
